The Poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins: The Reverence to God and Distance from Self

In his work Hopkins proposes a dichotomy between religious devotion that is inherently unique and the state of separation from God. In his earlier work Hopkins depicted this religious respect and gained insight into sacredness and purity. Hopkins with a number of visual images reminiscent of lush natural changes are drawing attention to physical beauty. In addition, through the vertical metaphor and the performance of a sound pattern Hopkins transforms the natural beauty into a spiritual unity, a deep concern to God.

Gerard Manley Hopkins has eight brothers and sisters born in Manley and Catherine Smith Hopkins. His parents are Episcopal churches that follow the Catholic tradition sacraments and pope. By planting the theological values, beliefs, and morals of Gerald, he was seriously affected by his family. His parents taught him to love God with other children. Gerard was convinced that she would become familiar with the Bible by strengthening her connection with her mother, so Gerrard started reading the New Testament at school.

Gerald Manley Hopkins born on July 28, 1844 is the largest of the eight children of the London Marine Insurance Planner. In addition to writing a book about maritime insurance, Gerald's father, Manly also wrote a poem. On the other hand, his mother is a very devout person. She actively participated in the church and left her religious beliefs in Gérard. He went to the Highgate School, and his poetry talent made his debut. Some people said that he won up to seven games when he registered with the high gate.

Gerald Manley Hopkins is a Victorian poet and often uses symbols to prove how God appears in all creations. His tips on God are revealed in works such as "Pied Beauty", "Spring", "Windhover", "God's Grandeur". The purpose of this study was to study how Hopkins uses these terms "escape from reality" to explain these meanings to God. Hopkins' poetry shows the reader a transcendent appearance and realizes that people feel deeper and make them more beautiful as God touches everything.
